About this item

The Adorama Macro Focusing Rail helps fine tune your focus when shooting Macro photography. Taking close-up pictures will at times leave you with depth of field of around one millimeter for precise macro work, camera positioning and focus become critical. Even with a good tripod and head, you'll find that you have at least 10 controls to adjust. Each of them will move the camera. None of them will move the camera along the axis that you care about.

Adorama Macro Focusing Rail, with its smooth rack and pinion movement capable of moving the entire camera/lens assembly forward and back. You use the tripod to roughly position the camera/lens and then the macro rail to do fine positioning.

The Macro Focusing Rail offers four way fine tune adjustments and will work with all digital and film cameras.
